Therapy is frequently a scam but not always. There are three types therapy. Good therapy that helps. Bad therapy that doesn’t and only enriches the therapist while impoverishing the client . Ugly therapy that cause problems that weren’t there before. It needs to be clear that all three exist but it can not be completely discarded. .
To paraphrase the old jokes about lawyers (or whatever other profession you don’t like) Most therapists give the rest of them of a bad reputation. But you still need the few good ones..
